My Burritos has their own preferences with fruits if given a choice. Ms. Burrito prefers Mango over strawberry and the Mister is the opposite. However, Ms. Burrito would eat strawberry if mango isn't available but Mr. Burrito isn't fond of mangoes.

April 29-30, 2012:

We visited my FIL after church yesterday then we went to the marland heights park before we went home.

We went to DMV today, I planned to renew my driver's license even if I still have until next year before it expires. The address on my card is the former address that we have so it conflicts the new home address that we have. I did not accomplish it though because they have a new set of requirements that I have to submit so maybe I'll comeback sometime this week.

I am down to the last load of doing laundry.

Hubby and the kids are having their night time walk, I did not go as I want to get done with the laundry before bed time.

I am happy that I finally got to talked to my mother even if for a very short period of time last night. The signal in their place is very weak so it is hard for me to call. It did not last very long but at least I got to hear her voice.

Hubby mowed our yard today. I t is almost the month of May but the weather is so cold. I tried to do some gardening today but my hand got so numb so I quit.

My very first experience of dining at Chili's was when we were still in South Korea. We went to a three-day getaway in Osan where the Air Force base is. Inside the base, there was a big Chili establishment and we had our first night dinner there. It was a special occasion for us as we celebrated our wedding anniversary in Osan. What could be more special than celebrating the occasion with a bottle of wine right? But with two kids in tow, my husband and I couldn't do that besides we are not really drinkers so we celebrated it with full belly. If you are celebrating something momentous in your life, Chili is one of the places I would recommend to eat. They have a very good selection of food and you can try the CoronaRita at Chili's. CoronaRita is made with Jose Cuervo Especial Tequila and Coronita. The first and last time I have ever tasted Jose Cuervo was during my college years. My friends teased me because I got tipsy just for a little drink of Margarita lol. As I have said I am not a drinker so when I do drink, just a little will knock me out. It's nice to have a drink once in a while though, it is good for your health. As long as you do it in moderation, it is okay.

As you can see in this photo, our daughter love the Caesar Salad there. I love their Fajita Trio very much! I would love to go to Chili's and eat dinner there one of these days.

I mentioned on my previous post that I prepared home made burger patties. We love Hawaiian rolls so we always have it in our kitchen, I used it to make mini burgers.

We switched from Comcast Cable to DirectTV because we were having troubles with the former's box. The technician guy came over and hooked it up.

Ms. Burrito did not go to school today, she was fevered and feeling so down so we let her rest at home.

We visited my FIL when the technician guy left. On our way home, we dropped by and visited my SIL.

They men at home went to the store and grabbed some groceries.

I am so frustrated that I can't get through the phone, I have been trying to call my Mom through their cellphone but the signal is very weak. Grrrr.. I miss my mother and it's so frustrating when you can't even talk to her even for a short time.

We recently added a little bit of curb appeal to our front house. We have a newly built porch so we wanted to put something that would compliment the porch. We bought some white rocks and some plants and planted it in front. I was very satisfied of what we did especially that we only spend a bit of money compared to what we could have spent if we hired a professional landscaper. I used some plant food in front but I wanted to use something different at our vegetable garden at our backyard. I haven't done anything yet at the back except add some mulch.

I don't really used chemical based products for my vegetable garden but Whitney Farms® has a full line of 100% natural plant foods and organic soil which I like. I have two lovely kids, two dogs, and two bunnies so I don't want to use anything that could harm them in anyway especially at our backyard where they frequently spend a lot of time during warm days. An organic plant food would be the perfect product that I could use for our vegetable garden. According to the product description, Whitney Farms organic plant food has no manure odor which is great because last year I was kinda taken a back with the product we used because it smelled like pure manure. I want to use a different one this time so I might try this. There is a $3 coupon off that you can get if you want to try this product to nurture and enhance your love of gardening.

One of the daughters of our neighbor had conducted a study for her thesis and she asked us if Ms. Burrito could be one of the respondents. A few days after the experiment, she came by to our house and gave the kids these bunny cookies!

I made a pot of beans soup and glad hubby liked it. That was my first time cooking it.

My Burritos used to love black olives for snack then they change their liking to fresh bell peppers specially the green and red. I am not fond of black olives but am glad they do because it's a cholesterol-free food and very little fat.

It's still cold at our end but am glad it did not snow as the weather channel have predicted.

Dang, it's two days in a row that my migraine is killing me wahh. Wish this would go away.

I made these rice balls the other night for dessert. I mixed the glutinous flour with yam and jack fruit, and milk. Fried it in vegetable oil and rolled it into sugar confectionery. Every time I miss my mother, I tend to cook those foods/dessert that she always makes for us when we were growing up. Glad hubby and the kids loves it too.

This week is a final examination for my husband and Ms. Burrito is taking State testing in their school.

I had migraine the whole day. I am behind with my online activities so pardon if I haven't visited you yet.

It's twelve midnight and I am still up trying to post this one then I am going to crash.

When the Easter was over, I made the eggs that we colored into deviled eggs.

I made some meatballs and spaghetti for lunch. For dinner, I made some pork ribs over at my FILs and we ate it with green beans and corn. I feel bad when Dad said "Thank you for cooking Rose, it's been a while since I had a freshly cooked dinner." My SIL and NIL always cooks a hearty dinner every weekend over there though. I think, he wishes that he could have fresh dinner every day.

I made some mango smoothie last week from the last three mangoes that we bought in Pittsburgh. Hubby, Ms. Burrito, and I loved it. Mr. Burrito on the other hand is not so much fond with Filipino goodies.

Me and the kids practiced tennis yesterday at our backyard. Mr. Burrito got a booboo, he scraped his arm from the brick but he was fine.

There are friends and relatives who told us that the State Line Restaurant is a good and affordable place to eat. So on our way home from my husband's school, we tried it. The food and prices were alright but the big turn off for me is the smell of the cigarette. I was suffocating as we entered the place. They offered us a non-smoking area but it wasn't desirable at all. There were sack of potatoes near the table where we sit and it wasn't clean either in the room. That would probably our first and last time to eat there.

We brought Max to the Vet today. They were supposed to remove the pin out of his leg but they told us again to come back in three weeks. At least our time wasn't wasted because he got his rabies and booster shots.

Will update this later tonight. We just arrived and I have to go out in my garden.

I dug out so many dandelion at our yard. We have to buy some weed killer to get rid of these pretty weeds.

Sauteed cabbage with ground pork and rice was our dinner. Later tonight, hubby made mashed potatoes and mac and cheese hehehe.

"I have many memories of waking up to eat breakfast that my mother carefully prepared for us and her saying, what do y'all want for lunch, and as we're eating lunch, what do y'all want for dinner? It's always about the next meal."

The strawberry in the store is really hard to pass. They are big and fresh! Mr. Burrito can eat and eat strawberries and never gets tired of it.

We woke up a little early today. I cooked and we got ready.

We attended the 12:30 mass and then we headed to my FIL afterwards. We did not stay very long because we got invited for an egg hunt at Starvaggi Park. The kids had so much fun at the park. Both of the Burritos won stuffed toys for finding the most eggs.

When we came home, I started doing laundry. I am down to two loads now but I am getting sleepy.

Saturday, April 7, 2012

I wasn't feeling well when I woke up this morning. My head was aching and my whole body was painful. I thought it was due to the garden work we have done for the couple of days but later on I know the main culprit, it's PMS.

We went to the car lake today and did some hiking in the woods near our place. It was a relaxing exercise.

Friday, April 6, 2012

We have been straightening out our garden this week. Am so glad we got done laying out the landscaping rocks today. The kids had so much fun helping us. We are almost done at the front yard but still have a lot of things to do at the backyard.

Another busy day for us. Hubby hauled a ton of landscaping rocks earlier today and we laid it in our front yard. It looks a lot better now at our front yard.

After we got done at the yard and showered, the three lovelies of mine took nap.

I am not a sweet tooth but I like munching on marsh mallows. Hubby and Ms. Burrito doesn't like it but me and Mr. Burrito does. How about you, do you like Marshmallows?

April 5, 2012:

I was busy the whole day today. I started working on my garden after I cook breakfast. Then when I got done at our backyard, we went to Morreli's and canvas for the price of landscaping rocks. Hubby will haul it tomorrow.

We proceeded to Lowe's and bought some plants (pines and burning bushes). We also bought some gardening soil and pots. When we came back from the store, hubby and I planted all of it. I hope and pray that it wont be affected by the cold weather tonight. We supposed to have a 232 degrees temperature.

It was 6 pm when we got done. We visited my FIL and we colored the eggs there. I am so exhausted but I have some online tasks to finish so I have to them before I go to bed.
